Here at Changing Tides, we have found the holistic model to be one of the most successful treatment modalities with our residents. Holistic rehab centers are becoming increasingly popular, and it’s for a good reason: it often works where other treatment models don’t. Of course, each individual has a different set of experiences, difficulties, and needs. No single thing works for absolutely everyone. However, holistic addiction treatment programs may be able to help where other programs fall short.

A holistic rehab center is one that looks at the entirety of the person’s life and experience. Rather than just removing the substances from the individual and providing therapy, this model seeks to look at other factors in the person’s life. Of course removing the drugs from the system is necessary, as is the therapy received both one-on-one and in groups. Holistic rehab centers don’t stop there. They incorporate many different practices and offerings that may help address issues in new ways.

A holistic alcohol rehab or drug rehab often includes some focus on nutrition, exercise, spirituality and/or meditation, activities and fun, and social services such as resume building, training in life skills, and building community. These extra offerings can help a recovering addict in ways that therapy and physical sobriety sometimes don’t. The goal of a treatment center is to get the individual back on their feet so that they may create a new life for themselves clean and sober. With a holistic addiction treatment program, the person is offered the tools to truly address the underlying issues, find a way to meet their needs, and build a new, sober life for themselves.

Why Holistic Drug Treatment?

Holistic addiction recovery is just one model of recovery. Here at Changing Tides Addiction Treatment, we have chosen to offer our clients the holistic model simply because we have found it to work. By offering many different treatment options, each person that comes through our doors and stays with us is able to find some piece of the puzzle with which they truly resonate. Some people jump in with meditation, while others may take up exercise and nutrition. The point of holistic programs is that the person is being treated as a whole, not just one aspect of their being. By looking at all of the places in which we can grow, we often find the places that need our attention and care the most.

Getting sober is not easy. It takes a lot of work, support, and growth. We have seen people do a lot of work to get to the underlying issues beneath their addiction, but find themselves unable to build a new life for themselves. With a holistic drug rehab program, that
person can have a new opportunity to look at different aspects of their lives. Through nutritional counseling, exercise, meditation, and help moving forward with work or school, a struggling addict can work to build a strong foundation for a lasting recovery. Getting substances out of your system can be a difficult process. Changing Tides has a medically-managed detox to help you in this process. With the help of doctors, clinicians, possible medication assistance, and supervision, you can detox off drugs and alcohol with safety and security. Our goal is to make the withdrawal process as safe, comfortable, and conducive to recovery as possible.
